All teams are constantly strengthening, and Tang Tian has not fallen behind.

He is now the vice president of the team in charge of operations and has also begun to build the team's lineup for the new season.

The Pelicans now have 9 contracts on their books, 8 guarantees plus 1 non-guarantee.

After completing four consecutive championships last season, Parker, Carter and Anthony announced their retirement one after another.

Carter has even begun to learn about his career on this summer league stage.

For them, they won a championship in their late years and no longer had the motivation to continue to compete.

Jeff Green's contract expires, and considering his chance to play with the Pelicans last season, he is likely not to stay in the team.

Harrell's rookie contract expires and is a restricted free agent. Now he has received a three-year offer of 42 million yuan from the Clippers.

After the Pelicans signed Durant, the salary space was very tight, and there was a high probability that they would not match.

Including Tang Tian, ​​who retired, 6 of them were no longer included in the team last season.

Among the eight players who are still here, Davis, Durant, and Gasol are the basics, Brogdon, Siakam, Alexander, and Kuzma are the core rotations.

The remaining guarantee contract is Mitchell Robinson, whose rookie contract is only in his second year.

The non-guarantee contract belongs to Ding Yanyuhang.

Because Durant was dug up, the Pelicans now have two super core cores, Durant and Davis.

Although they compete next season, their strength is still among the top.

For Tang Tian, ​​his challenge is not entirely next season, but more in the future.

Brogden and Siakam's contracts will expire after the end of next season, and the starting salary for renewal will definitely start at 20 million.

Including Gasol, he is in good shape with the Pelicans and is expected to be very popular after the contract expires.

In other words, Tang Tian’s best choice is to use their expiration contract as bargaining chips, trade draft picks or have a long contract.

Otherwise, you may lose one or even two in vain.

After his eyes swept back and forth over the names of the three, he finally decided not to make a deal.

There are too many things that can happen in a year, and these few people are essential to the Pelicans team today.

Instead of taking the initiative to break, it is better to see who should be kept. It is natural to have a conclusion.

With a general direction, Tang Tian then began to plan for next season.

Point Guard: Alexander

With the experience of last season, Alexander has shown enough talent and it is not a big problem to be the team's point guard in the new season.

However, after Parker chose to retire, the substitute in this position must be strengthened.

Scoring guards: Brogdon, Ding Yanyuhang, Kelden Johnson

Brogden originally played in the second position, but he only played in the No. 1 position for a season because of Tang Tian and Walker's departure.

He completed the task very well, and with Tang Tian retiring, he was finally able to return to the second position.

Ding Yanyuhang performed well in limited opportunities, proving that he is an NBA-level player.

Coupled with Kelden Johnson, who performed well in the summer league, this position is enough.

Small forward: Durant, Kuzma

Power forward: Davis, Siakam

The forward line is the strongest position for the Pelicans in the new season, and these four people will basically divide all the time.

So in this position, just find two veterans to fill in the experience.

Center: Gasol, Mitchell Robinson

After an injury test, Boer Boer was not very optimistic, and the Pelicans finally decided to sign a two-year two-way contract with him.

This means that in the center position, Tang Tian also has to find an experienced veteran.

There are many people who need to strengthen it, but for Tang Tian, ​​this is the easiest mode compared to his coaching career in his previous life.

He pulled out the free market roster, then pulled out the rosters of each team, and soon searched for the players he needed.

For point guard, Alexander is organized, and it is best to find a player with the sixth man attribute.

He ended up choosing Dinwiddie and Garrett Temple, alternates Isaiah Thomas, Jeremy Lin, Jamal Crawford, and Trey Burke.

As an old Pelicans player and a former disciple of Nash, Dinwiddie played very well in the Nets and had previously renewed her contract for 40 million yuan in three years.

But he had suffered a wave of injuries before, and Leville performed well, his team positioning in the new season would be more embarrassing.

The Pelicans have a chance to get him through a draft pick trade.

Temple is a panacea substitute in the point guard, with defense first and stability as the main priority.

In theory, Dinwiddie is difficult, but Temple is easy to get.

So Tang Tian listed several alternative candidates, and the common point is that the injury risk is relatively high but the return may be relatively high.

As for who can be signed in in the end, it depends on Demps' negotiation ability.

On the front line, Don Tian chose Sam Decker and Justin Anderson.

These two people are not popular in the free market and can be won with an unsecured contract.

This is also a lottery ticket. Although I have seen the word "Thank you" but it is still worth a try.

In the center position, Tang Tian finally chose Gasol.

Gasol was troubled by injuries last season and didn't play much, but he still had a little oil in the fuel tank and could serve as Robinson's mentor.

That guy Robinson loves dancing so much that he has to find someone to practice him.

Of course, there is another point. If Gasol Jr. is in the team, if he can sign Gasol G. will also play emotional cards for the free market next season.

Of course, Tang Tian also listed some candidate players on the front line and inside line. Who can get it depends on Demps' ability in the end.

After making plans, Tang Tian then went back to accompany his family and children.

His purpose of retirement is to spend more time with his family. He will have to play in the World Cup later, so he must spend more time with him at this time.

After taking Tang Tian’s goal, Demps turned around and went to negotiate.

Three days passed and he had almost done it.

He didn't get it done in the point guard, and the Nets attached great importance to Dinwiddie and were unwilling to trade.

Finally Demps signed Temple and Trey Burke.

The former has 10 million yuan for two years, while the latter has fully guaranteed basic salary for one year.

Burke was selected for the rookie team in the rookie season, with good talent and outstanding performance in the Knicks last season.

And he is called a person who plays in Iverson skin by fans, and he is very explosive as a small man.

There was an accident on the front line. Carter turned to Demps and said he had changed his mind temporarily and wanted to play for another year.

So in the end, Demps signed Carter and Sam Decker on the front line, with the former fully guaranteed while the latter being insured.

For the center, he successfully signed Gasol.

As these signings progress, the Pelicans' 15-man roster will be released next season.

Point Guard: Alexander, Temple, Trey Burke

Scorebacks: Brogdon, Ding Yanyuhang, Kelden Johnson

Little Former: Durant, Kuzma, Carter

Big Former: Davis, Siakam, Sam Decker

Center: Gasol Jr., Mitchell Robinson, Gasol G.

Two-way contract: Poll Poll

This roster includes veterans, young players, and immediate combat power. It can be predicted that the competitiveness will be quite good in the competition for the heroes next season.
